Salmon Tartare With Avocado Mousse - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
    1 teaspoon freshly ground pink peppercorns
    1/2 teaspoon cream of balsamic (balsamic glaze)
    2 tablespoons capers
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
    12 chives
    Avocado Mousse:
    2 firm-ripe California avocados, chilled
    1/8 cup firm-ripe papaya flesh
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    1 pinch salt
    1/3 cup heavy cream, chilled
Preparation
    Place salmon in a bowl, preferably wooden. Combine olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, peppercorns, and balsamic cream in a separate bowl. Add dressing, capers, and dill to the salmon. Toss gently but well.
    Decorate each plate with 3 chives.
    Scoop avocado flesh into a food processor. Add papaya, lime juice, and salt and puree until completely smooth.
    Beat cream in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold avocado mixture into cream gently but thoroughly. Avocado mousse can be served in a freestanding gravy boat or placed around tartare on a plate.
